About whom I work with
I work with adults as well as children and young people from the age of 13 years old onwards and into the latter stages of life. Furthermore, I can offer both short- and long-term therapy, either face to face, via telephone or online with availability during the daytime and evening.
​
I am fully inclusive and accepting of all people, regardless of their gender, sexual orientation, culture, ethnicity and work with a range of diversity in a non-judgmental way.
​
I feel passionately about this because when I was younger, I never felt like I fitted in, but as I grew into my own identity, I learnt to understand myself and that everyone is different which means it is important to know and accept who you are.
Experience
I have experience of working with a range of issues, such as, anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, self-harm, abuse, trauma, relationship difficulties, divorce, separation, domestic violence, bereavement and adverse childhood experiences.
​
These have been within various settings, for example, working in with the NHS as part of the mental health team; as a counsellor within a school setting, as a counsellor for Mind (the mental health charity) and as a counsellor working within the Police Force.
